Joffrey Lupul also on the ice after departing early from practice yesterday.
Lupul will play tonight after taking a maintenance day. He scored eight goals and 18 points through his first 16 games.
Line Change
If Kessel is a pure sniper, and if Connolly is the kind of playmaker who can feed him, perhaps Lupul, who has a track record of being a goal scorer, albeit a streaky one, doesn’t mind doing the dirty work.
Lupul will get the first crack at the top line but could be replaced by any of the team's top prospects. The former 7th overall pick scored nine goals and 18 points in his first 28 games as a Leaf. He could be an interesting pickup in deeper leagues as he has three 20-goal seasons on his resume.
